Beginning at 5pm, KEXP DJs descend on participating bars, restaurants and businesses to spin records and host live music showcases. The fun at the Sunset continues with a knockout bill featuring Gibraltar, Fox and the Law, Hounds of the Wild Hunt, Widower, and Smokey Brights. And over at the Tractor Tavern, we’ll have performances by Jason Dodson of the Maldives, Goodbye Heart, and Tangerine.

Throughout the day, participating Ballard businesses will offer special discounts, plus an opportunity to win a fabulous one-of-a-kind gift package donated by area merchants.

Feeling jealous? Don’t. Residents of other Seattle neighborhoods can wrench the crown from Ballard’s grubby mitts by taking part in the 2014 Hood-to-Hood Challenge during KEXP’s Summer One-Day Fundraising Drive on Friday, June 13th.
